SSR Week 2

Picture Books: Read at least three picture books from within the classroom. Write a paragraph about  your favourite book. Remember to include the storyline and the illustrations in your response. I read 3 picture books. The one I picked as my favourite is The Usborne Book Of ORIGAMI By John Woodcock. I picked this book out of the three because the book teaches you how to make Origami out of paper. The Origami book is very cool because it shows you how to make all sorts of stuff out of paper, some of them can be quite challenging but some can be easy.

SSR Term 3 Week Two

 read at least three articles from a School Journal and Write a paragraph about your favourite one.

I read 3 articles from the School Journal Oceans A Source Of Life. My favourite story
from that journal is Who's Eating Who? By Bronwen Wall.

I liked the story beacuse it talks about the animals in Antarctica, how they live and what
they eat, how they keep warm and what will happen if you put an animal from the warm part
of the earth and put it into Antarctica and what will happen to that animal.

Matariki Stars

We had to make a Matariki Star for Matariki this year the whole class had to do one. I used blue card and orange wool.

SSR

Read at least ten poems and record your thoughts about your favourite one.

My favourite poem was We Have Come Home by Lenrie Peters.

My thoughts about this poem are it's a nice small poem. I like the beach
and it relates to the beach. 

Beach Cook Out

On Wednesday the 1st of July Room8 went down to karoro beach by Watson creek.
The people in my group were Cailan, Flynn, James and Me, our group made nachos.
The fire we built was a log cabin to make the fire. We dug a fire pit out and put rocks around the edge.
Then we got two pieces of kindling and kept stacking them parallel to each other. 

To start the fire we found some tinder which was some dead grass and put the tinder in the middle
and stacked some fire wood on top. Once we lit the fire we waited for the fire to burn down until there
was just embers left, we put the frying pan on the embers then we put the mince on the pan we steered
the mince to make sure it would not burn. When the mince was cooked we placed a bit of mince on
each person's plate then we got the nacho chips and put sweet and sour sauce on the chips then
some grated cheese then the mince on top.

 To clean up we got some sand and water and put it on the fire until there was no steam or smoke.
The food was great and we did all this work for the William Pike Challenge.
